Artist's Statement:

The previous piece was taking too long so I decided to do a pencil sketch. I was lazy so I used a mechanical pencil. Then, it was taking too long so I used charcoal to create a smoke effect. I decided to paint this image because I was stressed about college application and this was quick and easier. The paper I was drawing on was a little hard to use. I couldn't erase because it would rip the paper. That's also a reason why I didn't bother smoothing out the pencil strokes.
